About us

Broadland District Council, Norfolk County Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council are the four partners that make up the GNGB. We came together after signing the Greater Norwich City Deal with Government in 2013. We have chosen to work together to accelerate the delivery of infrastructure within the Greater Norwich area, because we recognise the benefits that can be achieved by looking beyond our individual administrative boundaries. 

The New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (NALEP) were previously a member of the partnership but withdrew in 2023 after the government ceased core funding for Local Enterprise Partnerships and transferred their functions to local and combined authorities. 

Since the establishment of the GNGB in 2014 our partnership working practices have become industry leading, and are celebrated as an exemplar model of working by the Planning Advisory Service (PAS), who recognise that we are pursuing ambitious growth agendas under strong strategic leadership.
